F OLLOWING ii an entirely ex
haustive summing up of the
baaeba.ll situation at Mobile yes
terday. where the Crackers apparent

in the third game of the series.
This is the complete idea.

VATURALLY, Birmingham won
again.
It rained there, too. but held off
until the Barons had sneaked over
the winning tally in the fifth, the
game being just aa shy as the rules
will stand for and the record books
publish.
But. it counts exactly as much In
the percentage column as if It had
traveled twenty-three innings.

E VERY now and then somebody
comes to bat with a scream of
rage and tries to hit the “commer
cialism of baseball” out of the lot.
Yesterday every club president in
the Southern League agreed to per
mit the Atlanta club to suspend
Whitey Alperman the rest of the
season, with full pay. And the At
lanta club is doing that very thing
And now Whitey. w'ith a wife and
three little Alperman dependent on
his pay envelope, can take his own
time and get well comfortably from
the appendicitis operation.
We prefer to think that’s an ex
ample of the true spirit of baseball.
Commercialism should be made of
sterner stuff—and is.

I F Jack Prince wants to square him

had better leave the city for the
next twelve hours. The “Rainmaker"
is in awfully Dutch with the saucer
bugs who had been expecting to see
some thrillers out at the Motordrome
last night, but \fho were robbed by J.
Pluv.
J. Pluv’s wet assortment caused a
postpouement from last night until
to-night The same card scheduled
last evening will be run this even
ing—that is. if J. Prince will kindly
hie away from the village.
J. Pluv and J. Prince are bitter
enemies*, and the former J. holds sev
eral decisions over the latter .1
While the showers last evening
dampened a heap of enthusiasm for
a while, it failed to dampen any spirit
within the riders. They are more
anxious than ever to prove that in a
thirty-minute grind that they are
“there.”
"McNeil and I were only forced to
wait twenty-four hours longer to
prove that our team Is the fastest,”
said Marty Graves this morning. The
other riders laughed when Morty said
this, and every ope of them tried to
get him to bet a few extra cigars on
the outcome.
"Tex Richards and yours truly will
be home In front; and don’t forget
that.” said Billy Shields, who H« team
ed with the speed demon from the
Lone Star State.
The revised and complete program
for to-night follows:
First Event—First heat Motordrome
Sweepstakes. (One mile to qualify
and two-mile final.) Starters—
Graves. Shields, Richards. Renel,
Lewis.
Second Race—First heat of a match
race between Glenn and Luther.
(Race to be two best heats In three.)
Distance, 2 miles*.
Third J|!vent—Second heat of Mo
tordrome Sweepstakes. Starters—
Schwartz, Lockner, Luther. McNeil,
Glenn,
Fourth Event—Second heat of
match race between Glenn and Lu
ther. •
Fifth Event—Final heat of Motor
drome Sweepstakes. (First and sec
ond man in each heat and third man
in fastest heat to start.)
Sixth Event—Third heat of match
race between Glenn and Luther, if
necessary.
Seventh Event—Half-hour team
race. Teams—Graves and McNeil,
Schwartz and Lockner. Shields and
Richards Luther and Lewis. Renel and
Glenn. (No rider can remain on track
over twenty consecutive minutes.)

Leach Cross Defeats Baldwin
Twenty-Round Bout a Fizzle
By H. M. Walker.
V ERNON ARENA, LOS ANGE-
LES, July 30.—Leach Cross and
Matty Baldwin stood in the
center of the ring at the finish of
twenty rounds of mild milling and
embraced like brothers. Truth to
tell, they performed like kinsmen
throughout the evening. Cross was
given the decision. He outpointed
Baldwin in at least 18 out of 20
rounds. The big fault to be found
with Leach’s work was that he did
not try at any time to bring the battle
to a finish.
So unsatisfactory was his work In
this respect that at the end of the fif
teenth round Referee Eyton stepped
to Cross’ corner with a warning:
“You are not trying.” said the offi
cial. “Every time you get ycur man
going you Ptall and allow him to
strengthen up. You’ll have to do
better.”
This warning had little effect upon
the New Yorker. He had Baldwin on
the run in the last few rounds, but
was content to box in such cautious
fashion that the ring-siders were all
barking their disapproval. The one
charitable way to view Cross’ work
was that Leach knew of Baldwin’s
ability to travel twenty rounds, but
was not sure of his own stamina.
On his showing last night Cross can
make no immediate claim for recogni
tion at the hands of Ritchie. Wolgast
